Are you the kind of editor who lives for the adrenaline of a breaking news cycle and knows exactly how to turn raw footage into a powerful, high-impact narrative? Arizona's Family is looking for a high-energy News Video Editor to join our team in Phoenix. We don't just "cut tape" here-we craft visual experiences across broadcast, social, and digital platforms that empower Arizonans to live their best lives.

• Digital fluency: You understand what makes a video go viral and how to optimize news content for different social platforms.
• Grace under pressure: You thrive in a fast-paced, high-stress environment and never miss a deadline (even when the clock is ticking down).
• Technical savvy: Familiarity with receiving feeds and managing assets in a content management system.
• Team-first attitude: You're a communicator who lifts the team and is always looking for ways to improve the final product.

Why You'll Love It Here:

• Be a part of a powerhouse: Work for Arizona's most-watched station and a leader in multi-platform innovation.
• Real community impact: Your work helps raise millions for local charities and powers movements like our Surprise Squad.
• Creative freedom: We value "scrappiness" and digital-first thinking-if you have a great idea for a social edit, we want to hear it.
